Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Godfrey, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Godfrey is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
